West-coasters will know what I mean: Pineapple Express is the name given to the insanely warm winds that barrel up the coast in winter, directly from Hawaii. It is giving us this endless warm gloom. I often hear people talk about the February blahs – that’s when many go to Hawaii or similar places. Usually I love February as the days are longer and we often have good frosts and sunshine. Not this year, though.
In fact, I am going away this February. But I will be going to Gabriola Island to speak at the Writers Festival. (I will make a separate post about the trip.) There I can probably look forward to pouring rain…..
At least I don’t live in Kitimat. It is about 400 km north of me. Last weekend they had a huge snow dump. Scroll down to the video – gives a better picture. Looked pretty wet from the shovelling that was going on. This is the kind of Canada most foreigners imagine our country to be…
Hi Chris, I just looked at the snowfall pictures and movie, a little overwhelming and yet- always smiles and laughter, what a great bunch these Canadians are!
And I wish you luck for your trip and book tour, lots of success, enjoyable wheather, good health and anything else you might need!
